Hopefully, with a better pitch and some friendly breeze will bring sound comfort to the Tigers. They must rise up to the occasion to bring respectability to their coach's pre-series comments.

The day our top order will click will be the day of reckoning. They have all the ingradients, all they need to do is to be themselves and to play for themselves. With a formidable lower order batting line up and fearsome penetration from the bowling department, we have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Can the tigers wake up today?

The real question is the weather, which may make all other points moot.

Hey guys .... I'm aboard but at work. I'll get home probably halfway into the first innings so then I participate a bit more fully!!!

What should have done by our BD sports journalists to boost the confidence of some of our demoralized cricketers, has done by Billah. An excellent input to maximize Alok's lost faith of his own ability. To add one more thing with Billah's thoughts, I would suggest Alok to watch the video clip of his glorious half centuries and also the hat trick bowling spell over and over again. This is exactly what the sport psychologist of team India advised Tendulkar when he was going thru the bat patch.

Anyway, its only half an our before our determined boys gonna huddle themselves to thrash WI. I am confident of a win! Too much of an asking?:embaressed:

yea i agree for Tendu sport
psychologist and journalist
played a big role..but this is BD
Kapali is not Tendu!!!
if he was he would have tried harder
he started doing bad when
he started playing so called
glorious shots to prove himself
elegent!! no need to do that when
team needs a good score
itz betta to play straight or slow
than play elegant shots and give
away wkts.

The rain has left the field sodden and a lengthy delay appears likely.

He and Eddie Nicholls made a cursory inspection at 10am, and decided to have another look at 1pm (1700 GMT). But with the forecast not good for later on, the game is under serious threat of being washed out.

Outfield is still dump and wet to certain areas, but groundsmen are working hard to make the field playable. The commentrators are hopeful about the play being start anytime from now. Umpires and officials are on the field, walking around and inspecting.

Play must start by 1:40pm local time to have the minimum 25 overs match. Any further downpour might cause the match to be called off.

25 over match should suit us. we should just wack the ball...ashraful and rafique should both come in no later than #s 5 or 6...in fact they should be 3 and 4. we should score as many runs as possible.

rafiq

May 19, 2004, 11:39 AM

the radio snippet i caught seems to indicate that they did use a helicopter. west indies cricket doesn't have any more money than bangladesh does, so drainage systems can't be expected to be world class in either place, although BNS in Dhaka got a new one recently.

As for rain, there is rain everywhere - a lot of england tour matches have been washed off in recent months - sri lanka, west indies eg. So, no this not another international conspiracy against poor Bangladesh.

I think in 25 overs it would be good to see Mahmud and Rafique earlier.

well if it was a four the 3rd umpire should correct it, it can be corrected even after the innings.

Do you have any idea how many runs in 25 overs would be considered a fighting total on this ground?

yeah they'll probably add it up after the match...but from what i've heard i thought they consulted the third umpire before making the decision

seems like Bashar and Saleh decided not to let anyone else bat. They want to play all 25 overs and score 63/2.

What's wrong with this run rate???? With wickets in hand they can accelerate the scoring rate later!!!!!!

I beg to differ ..... ball is carrying!!!! Pitch is playing well .... BD may be beaten for pace and they are not timing their shots well!!!
